Anti- Police militants quietly have taken control of the street where George Floyd was killed by former police officer Derek Chauvin as tensions continue to grow as jury selection continued for Chauvin’s trial, one which is sure to produce a violent riot if the officer is not handed a stiff sentence.
An activist was murdered recently in the so-called “autonomous zone” otherwise known as George Floyd Square, which was set up by anti-police, black-clad militants on the block where Floyd died after a grocery store called the police when Floyd handed them a counterfeit $20 bill.
The story has drawn next to no media coverage, as the Minneapolis police have surrendered the area to the radicals allowing for a tense scene and a fellow anti-police activist shot to death.
Minneapolis police on Thursday announced two arrests in connection with the shooting death of 30-year-old Imez Wright at George Floyd Square last week, Minneapolis Star reported. The police released very little information regarding the murder.
A preliminary police investigation determined that Wright and a suspect had been arguing when the suspect shot him several times and fled in a light-colored Suburban that had been struck by gunfire. Wright was pronounced dead at an area hospital, The Star reported.
The police have been discussing how to manage the “autonomous zone”. Tensions will continue to rise in Minneapolis as the trial inches closer.
It seems almost surreal to imagine a major city allowing, violent radicals to literally take over an entire intersection and even more surreal to listen to Police Chief Medaria Arradondo, explain away the lack of public safety and civility in the crime-ridden city, where carjackings have increased almost 300% since the BLM insurrectionists have turned the city into a free for all, for anti-police and anti-American communist tinged militants.
“How do we stop and prevent what’s been occurring? We have to stay vigilant,” Arradondo said. “I will say from a public safety [standpoint], we have to open up that intersection. And I know that may be difficult for some people who have been holding space in there since last year, but we have to open up that intersection. And we can do both. We can facilitate the tribute and recognition and honor Mr. Floyd and yet get that intersection back open. We’re having ongoing conversations. There will be more today.”
